Why no superconducting magnet suspended non contact frictionless forks?

Gotta be cheaper and less maintenance than 2012 Fox shurely?

Few superconducting electromagnets to hold the sliders equidistant from the outers with no contact and so no friction, you could do the damping with induced gaussian braking too. Just off to the shed...

I've already designed and patented some.

So shut up.

I already use forks that have 0 friction/stiction.

Battery life/power i guess, not sure on size:power ratio needed to cope with the forces. I could make a fag-packet calculation for you....I'm that bored atm!

Think the having to stop before riding under any power lines and working out Ampere's Law to determine if your forks are going to lock up, pack down or violently expand is going to be quite challenging to write into a user manual.
